Is a haunting in connecticut based on a true story?

is a haunting in connecticut (movie) really based on a true story? what parts in ';a haunting in connecticut'; is true?Is a haunting in connecticut based on a true story?
Yes. I watched a show about it on The Discovery Channel before they made the movie. Basically a family lived in this house that used to be a a funeral home. There were two boys and they had their bedroom in the basement. The eldest boy would see ghostly figures in his room talking and he would start scaring his little brother (his little brother never said if he saw or heard what his older brother saw). So his parents got really angry telling him to stop with the nonsense and he was scaring his brother.





He then started leaving the light on when he went to bed at night. He no longer saw or heard anything unusual with the lights on. His parents began struggling financially and noticed how high their electric bill was. They found out it was because they had been sleeping with the lights on all night. His father took out the light bulb downstairs so he couldnt turn it on at all. The older boy then started claiming an evil man would come at night and talk to him. He told him to do bad things.


The boy scared his little brother so much that finally his parents let the little boy move to an upstairs room.





The family's relative, a young girl, came to visit for a weekend. She noticed how different the older boy had become. He was very cold and distant. She stayed in an upstairs room and one night she woke up to find the older boy pulling off her covers in the middle of the night. The next night she slept with her rosary bead necklace around her neck and woke up with it slipping up over her neck by an unseen force.





Anyway the girl ended up leaving and the parents sent the boy to a nut house. They had supernatural investigators come into their home and find out what was going on. They even had a priest exorcise the house. The priest claimed to see a fiery ball with a devilish image come up at him as he tried to go down into the basement one night and ran out of the house saying he would never forget the image and never set foot back into that house.





No one else saw any ghostly images or a man in the home, but one investigator said she it was the most evil she had ever felt in any home she had ever been inside.





So the house did get exorcised and the family said they felt like the evil was gone from the house but decided to pack up and leave. they got their son out from the nut house and i guess went on with their lives.





I think the boy was just crazy %26amp; people can get together and start seeing things that arent really there and really start believing in things and creat things with their minds. I can't say that I don't belive this didnt happen, but I don't think it has anything to do with something supernatural.





There was more but it was a while back since I watched it. Look it up maybe on The Discovery Channel website.





Hollywood saw it as a good oppurtunity to make a good horror flick.





The owners today say the house is very warm and inviting. They have. never experienced anything evil and love living there.Is a haunting in connecticut based on a true story?
everything that Chabela said is correct, except that the little brother who slept downstairs with the older one, did, infact, see everything that the older brother witnessed.





pretty much, the only facts from ';A haunting in ct'; that was also in ';THE haunting in ct'; was that the family moved to a house that used to be a funeral home and the oldest brother began seeing things.





in ';THE haunting in ct'; they moved there because they needed somewhere to stay while the oldest son, Matt, was going to cancer treatment facilities. matt stayed in the basement by himself and kept seeing a little boy, sometimes performing seances. the little boy was sort of using matt as a medium to free souls who died, so the little boy was actually a good spirit. the father took out the lightbulbs because he came home drunk and saw all the lights on. the movie made it seem as though matt was hallucinating the whole time because the rest of the family never saw anything that he saw and he was on medications that could possibly cause hallucinations.





overall, the movie was actually good. it was the 1st horror film to ever scare me. but the story is so loosely based that it can really be about any kid who lives in a basement and says that he sees a monster in his closet!
It is based on what people claim happened which was never proven, so no.





Several sources have claimed that the story of The Haunting in Connecticut is actually a fabrication. With regards to the accuracy of his portrayal of the events that the movie is based on; the writer of A Dark Place, Ray Garton said, ';Elements of Carmen Snedeker's story clashed with elements of Al Snedeker's story, and it seemed everyone was having a problem keeping their stories straight. Frankly, I didn't notice until I had nearly finished all my interviews and began going over my notes, then I started having trouble matching up the details.';. When Garton approached the investigators about the inconsistencies mentioned, they told him, ';make it up (the story) and make it scary';.
saying that the haunting in connecticut is true is like saying that men get pregnant. i read about 20 articles over it and they all say that the parker family was tormented by satan and saw very disturbing images and they still stayed in that house for 2 years ( i mean if i found out that satan lived in my basement i would be out the next minute) also in the articles it said that the dad and the mom were raped by demons i mean come on if you were raped by a thing you cant see what are you still doing there. the one thing i found really weird was that was the dad (ed) was on work and the spirit traveled with him and the spirt started his truck and drove it right into his office trying to kill him. how did the spirit know how to drive when the parker family said the spirit looked thing something out of the 1800's hundreds. cars weren't invented back then. the basement was were they said that they spirits came from, and when they got the house they made the basement into a bedroom for there 2 sons, the house was a 2 story with 2 used rooms, so why couldn't they put there sons in the 2 used rooms. when a bunch of people interviewed the lady that allowed the parker family to rent the house she said the she never heard such things from the previous people that rented the house from her. also she lived in that house for 5 years and she never experienced anything weird. iam thinking that the family made this up when they heard about the amityville haunting. the people that experianced it had some person write a book about it and make a movie and they made a nice profit off it and the parker family did have a book writen and a movie made. when ever movies say that it is based on a ture story not belive it because there is proboly one part that is ture not the whole story or its someone ones dream and say could say based on a true story. hope this helps
';The movie is loosely based on the real life stories of Al and Carmen Snedeker who lived in a reportedly haunted former funeral parlor in Southington, Connecticut.';


';Based on the story featured in the Discovery Channel documentary ';A Haunting in Connecticut';.';
when my uncle was in high school he started getting in to the heavy Me tall and started hearing a bell ringing in his room and one night he looked at the foot of his bead and thought he saw his mom my grand mom (IT WAS NOT) so the next morning he asked her why she was in his room so that led to a conversation but im not going to go deep into the story but they played some of the music backwards and bad stuff was ontheree so they went to the church and the preacher was horrified that they burned his stuff ween they did that it really pissed them off and all the dogs started barking so if you dint be livee then you go ahead but do not invite them in
Hmmm..the complete story line isn't true, but the movie was made based on a true story.


The movie is based on the real life stories of Al and Carmen Snedeker who lived in a haunted funeral parlor in Connecticut.


I've never watched it, but people say its gonna be better than the unborn.
have you ever seen a ghost or witnessed a real haunting? no


other than the national inquirer or examiner they never make real news.


by stating a true story it is just trying to get you interested in spending your money.


we all have friends that heard or seen things but where is the


hard evidence.
the only true part about it is the house was a funeral parlor and that a boy had cancer.

here is a link about the story. there were no dead bodies, no carvings in the boys body or anything, its all made up like the amityville horror, which has been announced as fiction.
Well its is not loosely based like what people are saying. Its really damn close to the true story. I read the book and saw the discovery channel version. If it was loosely based, it would be based on ';true events';.........but its actually based on a ';true story'; with facts.
yes it it a true story i live next door to the house it happened in, i wasn't born when it happened but my parents save the family creeped out everyday.
I read in the paper that it was based on a house were people were living that thought scary things were happening. Now people live in it and say it is NOT haunted.


Spooky

Parts of It are true like how the house use to be a funeral parlor but, I was reading and the director was told it dosn`t matter what is true make it scary.
I don't know what parts are true, but some of it is. The parts that seem way out there and unlikely to happen are going to be the fake parts.

Yes, the movie is based on a True story because I remember seeing the special on the Discovery channel. It was pretty creepy.
Yes. In fact the discovery channel aired a show on the house.





I am actually from Connecticut and I have seen the house first hand. It is entirely true.
Yes it's a true story No one should answer your ';what parts in a haunting in connecticut'; because it's not even out yet
It was about a funeral home that was sold as a house and the people who bought were haunted. The skin engraving wasnt real and neither was the talking to ghosts.
Yeah its based on a true story,


The history channel and discovery channel have both shown specials about the real case
It is but it is more like it is inspired by a true story. It is very, very loosely based. Don't be too freaked out by it
It's about a ';haunted'; funeral parlor. Apparently, it's more fiction than fact. But, still looks scary!
its probably just based on a few true events, but that could be very loosely based.
yep yep
yes
According to the commercial it is, lol.
Yes
No, ghosts are not real
Yes I Believe so.
yea
sure
